THE FIRST SNOW

EDWARD

Saturday, November 13th

"Get up, get up Edward. It is snowing." I heard my Bella saying in an enthusiastic voice.

I mumbled something like…"Urghhh…just give me 30 minutes. I am so sleepy".

"No, Edward. Please come. It is so beautiful."

"Fifteen minutes, my love…just fifteen minutes…."But she didn't listen to me at all.

She dragged me out of the bed, tickling me, running her fingers through my hair and then almost pushed me on the floor.

"Edward, get your lazy ass up…Come. It is absolutely magnificent. The ground is covered with snow--so beautiful--" She added, her voice all excitement.

"Okay, baby…Let's admire those snowflakes" Ha! Ha…The motherfucker voice now talking to me…Listen to your woman, man…she is the one who wears the pants here…Oh…shut the fuck up…I just want to please her…She wants me to see the snow…Let's admire those snowflakes…It is not a big deal.

I got up and went to the bathroom--human necessity--and brushed my teeth.

Isabella was in front of the window, her eyes shining with the wonder we often see in children's eyes when they see the first snow.

And it was magnificent. The snowflakes were slowly falling from the sky; big snowflakes, gently covering the ground and giving a magical atmosphere to the nature.

"Oh…Edward…N'est-ce pas merveilleux?... Regarde, c'est splendide.

Oh…Edward…Isn't it marvellous? …Look, it is splendid.

"Oui mon amour…Un paysage féerique. J'adore la neige". I answered.

Yes my love…An enchanted landscape. I adore snow.

"Let's go my love. I want to buy a Christmas tree today. I want to put up the Christmas tree this afternoon and listen to Christmas songs. " Isabella said in musical voice.

"Isn't it a bit early my love? We are only in November."

"I don't care Edward. The first snow is always special for me. When I was a child we always put up the Christmas when the first snow fell…Please…Please…Edward. "

"Okay baby. Let's go and buy the Christmas tree--Anything to please you". I added, laughing this time.

"Oh…and we could invite Jasper and Rosalie for dinner. It would be fun. Let's have a Christmas dinner before Christmas. I love…love…the first snow…she said, her voice now totally enthusiastic.

We dressed and went out; for breakfast first and then to buy the Christmas tree, the ornaments, the lights for the tree and the lights for outside, the crib and the personages; every things that had to be in the crib.

The mall was crowded. It was even difficult to find a place to park the SUV.

And it really looked like Christmas; the stores and the boutiques were already decorated with all kinds of Christmas ornaments; garlands, Christmas trees and lights. It was magical.

Even the songs and the music which were playing in the mall was Christmas music.

We spent all the afternoon shopping.

At four we were back home.

Bella called Jasper and Rosalie to invite them for dinner. And they happily accepted.

As we would be pretty busy, Bella asked them to come around 8:00. It would give us time to put up the Christmas tree and to install the lights around the balcony.

My Bella was like a kid. She was jumping all around the place, looking at everything we bought, her face red with excitement and her eyes glowing.

And I was so happy. Seeing Bella like this…My heart was burning for the love I had for her. I felt so emotional. Her happiness was mine.

We began to install the lights outside. The snow was still falling. It was not cold though. It was a very nice afternoon to be outside.

Then we went inside and began to put up the Christmas tree. Bella put Christmas songs in the CD player and we sang the songs we knew.

We drank cocktails; Snowshoe was the name of the cocktails she made.

I laughed because my girl had her way with cocktails. Every time, she chose a cocktail there was a special signification.

At seven, everything was done.

We both went in the shower and we made love. I couldn't have enough her. Every time it was like the first time. Her skin, her scent, her body were appealing. I could not resist touching her. My desire for her had no limit.

And she felt the same; the way she was looking at me; her chocolate-brown eyes burning into mine, her wet mouth on my skin, her fingers brushing my back with soft, light gestures. It felt like flames were flowing from the tips of her fingers. It felt so warm. It felt like fire…and my heart was melting and combusting in my chest, every time we made love.

We went out of the shower and got dressed.

She put on black tight fit jeans and a blue blouse. I loved my girl when she was wearing blue. It made her eyes brighter. She was so beautiful.

"Tu es si belle…tellement belle…je t'aime tellement mon adorée…"

You are so beautiful…so beautiful…I love you my adorable…

« Tu es magnifique toi aussi. J'adore quand tu portes cette chemise verte. Tes yeux sont tellement verts…La couleur de l'émeraude. J'aime l'éclat dans tes yeux. »

You are magnificent too. I love when you wear this green shirt. Your eyes are so green…The color of an emerald…I love the sparkle in your eyes.

"And I love your jeans too Edward. You've got a lovely ass in those jeans." Bella added, winking at me this time.

I kissed her passionately and we were interrupted by the doorbell.

Rosalie and Jasper were at the door; real synchronization.

I welcomed them in and Bella offered Jasper and Rosalie a 'Snowshoe'.

We decided to order pizza. Bella didn't have time to cook; all our afternoon spent in shopping and decorating the house…except for one hour…in the shower…

We drank and talked a lot.

Jasper and Rosalie loved the Christmas tree. And they were teasing Isabella for being the first one to celebrate Christmas six weeks before the real day.

The delivery boy was knocking at the door. I paid the bill and tipped him and we all gathered around the table.

Isabella opened a bottle of Chianti and we began to eat.

Rosalie was missing Emmett. She talked about him; saying how much she loved him…how great a guy he was…and that she was impatient to see him next week.

Jasper was missing Alice too. He would see her next week as well.

And Charlie was coming too.

Bella wanted to invite Robert if he was available.

She didn't have a lot of time to talk to him at Thanksgiving and she missed him.

I wasn't jealous of Robert anymore. I knew he just wanted to be friend with Bella. He told me that he was still in pain and missing one of his close friends; that he wanted more than a friendship and that she didn't want more. I didn't remember her name…maybe he would confide in…the next time I would see him.

And I knew how strong the love Bella and I had for each other.

There was not doubt in my head. I would take her as my wife someday. I couldn't see my life without Bella. She was my soul mate. She was not my half. We were one and she was everything to me…everything…She was MY ALL.

BELLA

I was so happy today. I always loved the snow…and the first snow was always magical for me.

It reminded me of my mother. It reminded me of my childhood. How happy I was. How perfect my childhood had been with my so-loving parents.

I couldn't wait for Edward to wake up. He had to come and see the snow falling. We had to share this magical moment together.

And we had to put up the Christmas tree today; not next week….today…as we did…my parents and me when I was a kid.

The day had been perfect. I loved to go shopping with Edward. I felt like a young child all along; in the mall, looking at all the decorations, hearing the beautiful Christmas music and buying the Christmas tree and the ornaments.

The afternoon was perfect too; putting up the Christmas tree, the ornaments and the crib; the lights that were installed outside, around the balcony, gave an ambiance of joy to the atmosphere.

It was fun sharing this happiness with Edward. It was special and unique. It brought back unforgettable memories to my mind.

And then, making love to my man…It was always so strong and so intense.

How could there be so much love between two persons?

My skin was always burning when he touched me. There was a fire inside me. I was all flames and all combustion. Every cell connected to him…one heart with two pulses…Mine and his…God….Did I love this man?

And tonight, Jasper and Rosalie were with us.

I loved those two. They were part of my family as well.

Rosalie and Emmett…Jasper and Alice…Edward's parents…I loved them so much.

My dad Charlie and my friend Robert…and Angie, Jess and Jake…

What else could I ask for? ...Nothing….

Life was good to me. I had a nice job. I was pretty efficient at work…not now…because I was studying French full time…and I was not working…but I would go back in March.

And I had found love. Edward was my love; the most important person in my life.

He was my soul mate. He was MY ALL.

The evening with my friends and my love was a very pleasant moment.

We had fun, chatting and laughing.

Rosalie and Jasper were impatient to see Emmett and Alice. They told us that they were calling and chatting with them almost every night--but they were missing their presence.

I could understand that. I couldn't live without Edward. I knew how it could be hard not seeing the one you loved every day.

I knew at a time, Edward and I would be separated. He was an actor and he had to earn money. His next movie would be entirely filmed in Montreal, but after this movie…Where would he go? It was his work…and I was truly afraid of not seeing him every night.

But I didn't want these thoughts to dwell in my mind. He would be here in Montreal for more than a year. After, we would see where his career would lead him. It was too soon to think about it and just thinking about it made me sad.

Edward drew me out of my reverie.

"Hey darling…Where are you? What are you thinking about?"

"Oh…excuse-me…I was just thinking about how happy I am…being with all of you" Evidently not telling him that I was thinking about his new projects and an eventual separation.

"So, do you want to play monopoly? Emmett is not here…and I feel lucky…maybe I could win a game."

"Okay" I answered…but I am not sure you will win. Maybe it is my turn to win." I added, smiling at him.

"Okay…if you think so. Let's play that damn game."

We played monopoly. But neither Edward, Jasper nor I won a single game.

Rosie won them all. Maybe she has inherited Emmett's skills. Even at a distance, Emmett was here with us. She was just like him…a winner.

Then, we decided to play Scrabble with French words.

Rosalie already spoke French and it would be a nice way to improve our French and to discover new words.

"Okay, your turn now" I said to Rosalie.

"Let me think Bella…" Just a minute."

"Okay…This is my word…." Louloutte."

"What's a fucking 'louloutte' "Edward said to Rosalie. Don't try to fool us with words that don't exist."

"I am not cheating Edward". I am not Emmett. 'Louloutte' is 'honey' in English". She said to Edward.

"Ha! Ha! ...Don't tell me that you call Emmett 'louloutte'…because it sounds completely ridiculous. "Edward said to Rosalie."Je t'aime louloutte adoré"….I love you my adorable honey.

"I don't call him 'louloutte'. It is an affectionate word for a girl, Edward…Not for a man…I can't even imagine calling your bear of a brother 'louloutte'." That would be completely unsuitable…and utterly ridiculous…she added, laughing this time.

"Okay…then…'Louloutte' accepted…9 points for you…" and I wrote the points.

"Your turn, Jazz"

"Lambrequin…This is my word."

"Well, now…What's a fucking'Lambrequin'? …I asked to Jazz this time.

"It's a valance or a frieze; valance, if it is fabric--like curtains--and frieze if it is wood or metal." Jasper answered.

"Okay…10 points for you"

"Now Edward"

"Hmm….Let me think…"….I got it…'Défaillir' "

"Okay…nice word my love…That is the way I feel when I look at you. I am overwhelmed with happiness." I said to Edward; "J'en perds le souffle…"You are breathtaking…I added, kissing him and running my fingers in his hair-- 9 points for you, amour--Je t'aime".

"I love you too Bella…Mon adorée…je t'aime tellement".

"Okay you two," Rosalie added, winking at both of us…Back to the game…

"My turn now…'Caraméliser' "

"What's 'Caraméliser' trésor? Edward asked me this time.

"It's a dessert coated with caramel. You know amour--the marble cake--your favourite dessert. Well…'Je le caramélise…" I coat it with caramel"…

"Hummm…yes…this dessert is so good." True, baby…my favourite dessert among all. "

"Okay…11 points for me".

This time, I won the game…and I learnt some new words as well. It was pleasant and very instructive.

Around three in the morning, Rosalie and Jasper left the condo. Jasper asked Rosalie if he could sleep at her condo. He didn't think it was a good idea to drive his car in his condition; the effect of drinking four 'Snowshoe'…and wine.

Edward and I cleaned the kitchen. I didn't like to wake up in the morning with all the dirty dishes and the glasses on the table or on the center-island.

I checked my cell. There were two texts; one from my father and one from Robert.

My cell was on the buzzer and I didn't hear it, with all the noise there was when we were playing the game.

Charlie's message was short enough. He missed me and he would come to Laval next Friday. That I already knew.

Robert's message was a bit longer. He would come to Laval next Friday. Could we pick him up at the airport around 5:00? And could he sleep at Rosie's or Edward's condo? He missed us and was impatient to see us.

I texted them back.

Dad….I miss you too.

When is your flight landing?

Call me tomorrow

P.S… Don't forget your swimming suit

We will go to a spa center

I love you

Robert…Edward and I are impatient to see you

No problem, you can sleep at Edward's condo

Then it was time to go to sleep.

We took a shower, brushed our teeth and went to bed.

I snaked my arms around Edward's waist.

I kissed him, telling him how much I loved him.

"Je t'aime Edward"…I love you Edward…

"Je t'aime davantage mon amour… ''…I love you more….Edward answered…kissing me again.

And we both drifted in a deep sleep.
